“Let’s Play House” Summer Activity Center is Rainy Day Fun

Visitors large and small have been stopping by to try out the “Let’s Play House” activity center. On a recent rainy day the museum was full of young people. They played marbles, tried on colonial clothing, went on a scavenger hunt, made herb sachets, and tried cross-stitch. You’re welcome to come visit us any day we’re open to the public: Tuesdays and Thursdays 1-4 p.m, and Sundays 2-4 p.m

“Murder Mystery at the Carpenter Museum” fundraiser

Come take part in a “who-done-it” at the Carpenter Museum on Friday, September 26, from 6-9 p.m. You can interrogate suspects, find clues, view exhibits and guess the murderer. Enjoy wine tasting and bid on silent auction items. Entrance fee is $10 for members and $15 for non-members and includes a free glass.

Have you always wanted to research your ancestors? Or have you been working on your family tree and “hit a wall?” We’re here to help.
